I can't really fault them. There are no good romanization methods for Korean besides IPA, but no one learns that shit other than linguists. For example, 현대 (Hyundai) = [çən̚de]. It's a perfect representation of the Korean pronunciation, but it's confusing as hell to most people.

Less than one hour until the tiebreaker between SKT T1 K and Samsung Galaxy White to decide the 2nd Worlds seed for Korea. I'd love to see SKT K back in full Winter 13/14 force but realistically, White takes this. On the other hand, I never thought KTA could take Blue, so there's some hope left. I think it mainly depends on if Piglet/ManDu can hold their ground vs Imp/Mata and not get dumpstered. Then there's DanDy vs Bengi but Impact on a good day and Faker with the hard carry pants on can equalize that deficit.

About 45min until Regional qualifier for 3rd Worlds seed starts. KTB vs Najin W Shield. Not that it means much as the final will be KTA vs SKT K, but maybe it's less one-sided than yesterday's tiebreaker.

Edit: Forgot KTB has a new roster. They looked lost in game 1, outclassed in every aspect.

Awesome, tense first game between Najin W Shield and KTA. Najin prove their current strength and that yesterday wasn't just a very bad playing KTB. KTA once again trying to win through reset combs, which almost worked. A little less tunnel vision on Dragon/Baron should help. Admittedly, you don't see a Orianna Baron steal every day

SKT K looked so bad against Samsung White the other day, and now Najin Sword is running train on everyone in a KT shirt. I really think it will be hard for SKT K to win that set tomorrow. Look at just what we saw out of NWS tonight. A long, dragged out poke-fest. A total blowup. A swift turn around from an early deficit resulting in a stomp. No matter what situation they find themselves in, Shield is coming out on top right now.

Old news, but Azubu got an exclusiv deal with KeSpa to stream every KeSpa team. They officially started today with CJ Blaze: http://content.azubu.tv/cjentusblaze/. Most are still on right now and Flame already has 16k views. I never used Azubu before but the stream quality is sick, presentation of the team and players is very well made and you can join multiple chat channels at the same time (english/korean here).

The SKT T1 organization has revealed that its contracts with Piglet, PoohManDu, and Horo are ending.

CHAMPIONS Summer 2013 champion and Season 3 World champion PoohManDu plans to retire from progaming and pursue a new path by returning to school, whereas Piglet plans to take a break before deciding his future plans.
